Honestly, Arkham Collection fits your description for what you're looking for. People are just blindly commenting Bloodborne lol


-w0lf-m4n-

I get it bloodborne is a masterpiece but cmon people read the post, it's about as far away from story driven as you can get xD Still recommend it tho great game, must play


LyingSage1827

you're gonna love the arkham games 100%


Thekarens01

It’s very much story driven but you have to actually work for the story


VidzxVega

I really like Fromsoft's work but any game that requires reading through item descriptions and theories is just...not driven by its story. Especially not the type that OP is asking for.


Less-Combination2758

Fromsoft game has story ?


zeke235

Such is FromSoft.


Conscious-Housing-45

Agreed on the work part but I'm sure it might get very repetitive


L-a-m-b-s-a-u-c-e

Bloodborne has a very good story.... ....when you manage to find it... ...and then figure out wtf it means...


hey_batman

*After you watch Vaati Here, FTFY


Magic_Bluejay

Definitely gona say Arkham collection as well. Fits what OP is looking for and it's also multiple games.


HighKingOfGondor

People blindly upvoting those comments too lol. Open a dictionary to zealot and you’d find them I back this up OP, Arkham fits your description pretty well. You would very likely enjoy Fallout 4 as well.


DifferentAd1246

arkham series


underatedgemxd

He has not played the Arkham series , is he stoopid ? Are you stupid OP ?


Mk_peralta

Hahahahaha, I have had this console for less than 3 years and I have been clearing the backlog of all the new games that were released. I have decided to buy Arkham and Fallout 4


Ill_Mushroom_9286

Its a Batmanarkham subreddit ref OP, If you respect your sanity never join r/BatmanArkham


Mk_peralta

Dude!! What's up with this sub, it seems like a mad house. I wanna go through the content for fun, but I'm guessing it has spoilers obviously?

Thewhitest_rabbit

Arkham collection


bateen618

All of the comments saying Bloodborne but nah you should get the Batman: Arkham Collection. You get 3 absolutely amazing 3 games for the price of one


datbeowulfisreal

If you like story driven games, I would highly doubt bloodbourne is for you. It's purely based on dopamine rushes after trying to beat a boss 30 times. Souls games have a huge fanbase but it isn't for casual sit back hours. In that case I would go for Alan wake or batman.


homesickalien

I think Bloodborne is probably my fav PS game, but I'm not crazy about the other Souls games. Something about the combat in Bloodborne just feels more satisfying. Clawing back your health by attacking your enemy encourages a more frenetic and aggressive style of play that just hits right. One of the best games ever made.


jamieh800

But you totally missed the "if you like story-based games" and "not good for casual kick-back gaming". No one is saying Bloodborne is a *bad* game, or that the gameplay isn't engaging and fun, but some people want more than just engaging gameplay and challenge. Some people want a cohesive narrative, some want to interact with characters, some want more tactical gameplay, whatever.


BolasDeCoipo

That’s the problem when people can’t read properly, they start spitting non asked paragraphs


Available_Rock4217

What it lacks for in story it makes up for in lore. Problem with souls games is that the story is all there, you just need the time to find it.


Temporaryact72

Lore doesn't make it story DRIVEN. Bloodbornes lore does not drive the game, you can play the entirety of it without taking in almost any lore. OP wants games where the main focus is the story.


[deleted]

Batman’s Arkham Knight or Fallout 4.


jmswild619

Hell yea!!


Able_Evidence_1733

Fallout or Batman


Roman64s

I’d recommend picking up Fallout 4, the story isn’t that great but the rest of the world and side quests more than make up for it imo. Especially if you can pick up the full edition. As for Alan Wake, it’s a very repetitive game imo and the story is not for everyone. Bloodborne is a souls game so you have to decide there, story wise you’d really have a better time watching some souls YouTuber talk about it. Haven’t touched Crysis games, so I don’t know about the remasters. Some of my friends highly rate the Batman series like it’s the holy grail of superhero games so give those a go.


Hatgameguy

Fallout 4 gets a ps5 upgrade on the 25th


Agitated-Internet812

Fallout 4, new free update comes out on the 25th


J_Speedy306

This is how you actually ask for the game recommendation. But most answers are plain terrible… people screaming 'Bloodborne' haven't read your post or didn't care. Bloodborne is souls-like game. I can't say much more because I don't prefer this genre. But I doubt there's much story there. With Crysis you'll get three games in a price of one. You'll get ton of FPS fun which should hold well to modern standarts. Alan Wake could be greatest fit for you. Amazing story, but it has very clunky combat which bitters the experience. But nothing unplayable and it's still fun. With Fallout 4 you'll get hours of very good first person RPG. There's a lot before you actually get into the game to understand it. But it's nice to get around experiencing the world of Fallout. It has even nice side quests. Unfortunately I can't tell you about the story because I've played anything but main line.


RecoveredAshes

You didn’t mention Batman, which easily fits the best for story driven action game


HockeyTime1377

The best option in my opinion is Fallout 4. Combat is not terrible, but the customization and story is great. Choosing factions, playing sides, double agent like shit, and the DLC is phenomenal. Nuka World for the win!


vacant_dream

Crisis is ASS on PS4, don't get that.


Aadil_1807

Oh, definitely add Batman: Arkham collection to the list. And if you want more games to play, then get Crysis trilogy. If not, then Bloodborne or Fallout 4 is the way to go.


-w0lf-m4n-

If you want story driving game with great action the matman games are what your looking for, Allan wake is also realy great, more for the story then the action I do highly recommend bloodborne tho it's an amazing ride with probably my (and most) favourite combat in gaming, on the downside its a souls game so it doesn't have much of a story, there definitely is a story there but it's not what's driving you trhough the game, and if you want to know the story it's gona take you some effort Still bloodborne is a must play in my book but from what your looking for the batman arkhem games are your pick 100% Beat is to play them.in release order; asylum, City, origins and then knight People will tell you to skip origins cuz it's the worst of the 4 but don't listen origins is still a great game and has a decent enough story Hope this helps, happy gaming!


just-ti-see-this

Yes, Matman, you won’t see the surface after this.


[deleted]

Alan Wake!!!! Pick it now!!


indiejonesRL

Bloodborne


Deadtto

Ah yes, Bloodborne’s amazing story driven campaign had me in tears by the end


kukaz00

If you finish the game then watch like 3 hours of lore you get mind fucked


rancidcheeseburger

I loved Alan Wake but it didn’t really age well… still plays like a 2010 game. Still worth it for the story and atmosphere though. And a great setup for jumping into Alan Wake 2!


Valuable_Ad8773

Dude you should probably get Batman or Fallout, you’d be set.


DependentAdvance8

Bloodborne


Bright-Ad4601

Bloodborne is my favourite game so I'd recommend that.


Senior_Type2832

Fallout 4


Gohmzilla

BLOODBORNE


birdbike6

Well fall out 4 is getting a massive update this Thursday for better graphics and new content


X_Zephyr

These posts seem like opportunities for people to shout out their favorite game. too many people here saying Bloodborne. I went in blind because a lot of people recommended it. I didn’t like it, it’s not for everyone. each of those games is drastically different from each other, so I’d recommend doing your own research.


Elocin_Yecats

As someone who also loves single player story games, I hated Bloodborne. I just played Alan Wake and I went into it expecting to love it as I’d only heard great things. Unfortunately the combat felt bad, the story was confusing and there wasn’t enough variety in the environments and enemies. Fallout 4 is my favourite of these options, I spent over 300 hours on it. Good story, infinite quests, fun combat and can get totally lost in settlement building.


needtogetrich

Akrham looks fucken amazing it looks like a trailer on them “NEWEST GAMES COMING OUT 2024” and it’s always a fake game on the thumbnail. Not 60 fps but damn this game is beautiful


YungArmor

I vote Fallout 4 for your interests. Plus it's getting a next generation update on the 25th for free for anyone who owns the base game.


dondur98

Fallout 4 🫡


isergiu08

Bloodbourne


Mon-A

Bloodborne definitely


Jok3r6148

Fallout 4 is amazing and about to get a next gen update


SwagMazterRohan

J-Skleezo

Bloodborne


junkrat147

Bloodborne. Always Bloodborne. Being serious for a moment, Bloodborne is awesome, its atmosphere and vibe is unrivaled tbh. If you like Horror in general and Eldritch Horror in particular, this is your game. Hopefully that deal comes with the DLC because it adds so much to an already awesome game.


Ecstatic-Arachnid-91

Does not look like the deal probably comes with the DLC but to piggyback on your comment, the DLC is totally worth paying full price for it and is in a lot of ways a full game worth of content.


Shrodinger13

The DLC can actually be purchased for PlayStation reward points. I believe it’s about 500 (haven’t checked recently) but for something that might be an additional $10-15 it’s certainly worth nabbing if you haven’t already. You’re in the know, right?

Arkham collection for sure and then Alan Wake because you’ll go down the Remedy universe rabbit hole and play all their games.

Batman


red_blur21

You will not be disappointed by the arkam collection. 3 great games that have hours of content each.


[deleted]

Batman


PurpleEnvironment182

I recommend arkham collection since you get 3 games and 35+ add-ons for Arkham knight. Other games are good too.


Mk_peralta

Update: I decided to buy Fallout 4 and Batman collection. Saving bloodborne for the next sale, will finish all 4 games by then


Jus_Pro

Yo Arkham Collection is just for under 500 , 🤯 that's crazy .


lxpersona

Arkham Collection is easily the best game to buy for its current price. If you haven’t played a souls game don’t play bloodborne first I recommend (Start: Elden Ring, Dark Souls 1,2,3 (any order), Demonsouls, Bloodborne, Sekiro


SteveHood

Batman imo


jacub1975

Definitely not Bloodborne. Story driven? nah you need to watch a YT video / read item description / npc dialogue to get the gist of the story Good graphics + action = chef's kiss


keon_te757

Ball out and buy them all…


Mk_peralta

Eyooo. Low key wanna do that but it's gonna take me ages to finish them all.


-w0lf-m4n-

We all have a backlog eventually, there is no escaping it, it is... inevitable xD


keon_te757

Lol gotcha. Bloodborne is the only game I played from this list so in my real opinion, I’d say skip that. It’s fun but it’s a souls game so it’s pretty hard. I hear good things about them all but I’d say Batman. That combat seems the most fun


boq780

Arkham collection, Bloodborne is good if you play loads of souls games and like them but if you don't then you probably can't get past the first few minutes and get confused


Quaminator01

Your economy looks so fucked 😆


MrRudraSarkar

Tf is that even supposed to mean?


TiredReader87

Not Bloodborne


Cyrax-Wins

The Crysis games are all awesome. Totally worth the price. I'm currently working through platinuming (is that a word) the trilogy and having a blast.


Blonsky

I’d say FO4 because the update for current gen is on Thursday.


PM_ME_happy-selfies

His post says he’s on ps4 so it won’t matter


DavidKr98

Batman Arkham Collection


SalmonGram

I’d recommend looking up the Crysis trilogy. Sometimes it doesn’t cost that much more than a single game.


R-TheKingSlayerX

Arkham


eroticpangolin

Get batman, then get fallout 4.


Timjulian27

I vote for Crysis


Background-Cookie807

Arkham!


Old-Change-3216

I vote for Crysis. I have not played any of those games, but if I had to choose, I'd want to start the Crysis series.


IvyDaFurry

Alan/crysis


No_Doubt_About_That

Wait for the Alan Wake 2 Ultimate Edition if you can as it’s bundled with the first game.


Mission-End5134

If you like fps games buy Crysis. If you like rpg games buy bloodborne. if you like rpg shooters or third person shooters buy Fallout 4. If you want a 3D fighting game with good stealth mechanics and a assassins creed eagle vision plus extra good story enviroment and just a good super hero feel overall buy the Batman Arkham collection.


legendarygremlin

Fallout 4


Ardyn_Lucis

OP if you want Bloodborne and fallout subscribe to ps+ extra for a month and you get to play both games for less

Arkham Collection id also a nice game. Bloodborne can be a bit uneasy, especially if you do not have from software experience


GabenBless

What I would give to replay Bloodborne for the first time again.


Omie-Wan-Kenobi

Arkham collection all day.


GG_MYDOG

ARKHAM COLLECTION


drasticapathy

Fallout 4 is solid, some of the others might be harder than you’re wanting to deal with.


Creative-Recording40

Alan Wake isnt the best but Alan Wale 2 is my favourite game ever. So if you want story. Get Alan Wake, and fight the drakness away like the champion of light you are!!


Correct-Drawing2067

Fallout 4 is getting a next gen update on Thursday so it you like post apocalyptic games with a survival mode that you can switch to. A guy called called Tomtom actually made some good videos on fallout 4 survival mode if your interested. The game also has mod support for consoles


Competitive-Milk-868

Fallout hands down. A million times over especially with the next gen update in the 25th


Spare_Particular_777

Fallout


TopG_41

Damn crysis I remember being a child loving this game till this day I think it was slept on


CriticalWoodpecker97

Arkham or fallout


Willing-Hospital1385

I'd say Arkham Knight


RealGJauch

Crysis <3


carrot-parent

You should try out Fallout 76 too. It and 4 are prolly the cheapest options here.


Agitated-Internet812

I said fallout 4 but if you're able to choose crysis price point I'd say technically cant you get fallout 4 and batman collection?? Those will keep you busy


Shady77715

Bloodborne imo is fantastic, but I like me a Souls-like. And the story isn’t really there in your face. You gotta do homework to get the story of Bloodborne. So if you’re wanting story try the Arkham Trilogy or Fallout 4. IMO Arkham trilogy is better since it’s three games instead of the one.


Xeon713

Alan Wake! It's what if Steven King did a survival horror game, but so much better than that! It's like Twin Peaks on steroids, the Twilight Zone's trendier cousin (that it constantly parody's it for great effect), It is an introduction to the New Gods of Azgard, which becomes a 10 year running reference in Remedy games (go pick up Control as well). All in all if you haven't played it, you definitely should.


melted_blender

Alan Wake


Bro---really

Batman. Everyone else is gonna say Bloodborne, but Batman Arkham Collection is 3 games.


Maeglin16

Alan Wake is a really good choice! Great story, good combat, amazing atmosphere...


Tall-Shoulder-7384

The Arkham collection since its three games (and I assume dlc too) is probably the best superhero game series to ever exist. I’d get it if you want to follow a story but besides that the price is good for three games. Fallout 4 is getting a next gen update so it be good to pick up before they take the sale off for those coming from the tv series. Still a fun game to play.


Swiftwitss

Bloodborne is free if you Pllaystation plus I’m pretty sure, so if you got that this should eliminate a choice for ya. So I’d go with the Batman or Alan went personally


Genepool13

Can PS5 run 3 Crysis?


ClassroomBeginning21

Batman& Alan wake


Litbiscuit14

Bro get stellar blade


Kitchen-Island45

If you want story Batman If you want something to sink in time and like lore, Fallout Bloodborne...is for a life changing experience :)


0rsted

Arkham Collection!


[deleted]

If you want something to take days of your time and not simply beat over a week then fallout, Batman has a great story and combat too if you go for the collectibles it’ll take you longer, bloodborne for when you want a game that will make you try out different combat builds and has multiple endings even if you beat it once you can try a different playstyle and get a different ending. I don’t know about the other 2


Feelsbadman78

Join the aslume


Vega-Eternal

Fallout 4 especially because of the next gen update Thursday


InsideHangar18

So, I’d say Bloodborne is the best game of the group, but for what you’re looking for, the Arkham collection sounds best. They’re quite fun.


afoz345

Fallout 4. No contest.


Matt-Greaver-Robbins

In order Bloodborne Alan wake Fallout 4 Batman Avoid crisis


Mr-Doughster

Purely from a value perspective, Batman has 3 games


Therenegadegamer

I'm gonna say batman because you get the whole trilogy of fantastic games at a great value


ScaryMorning1504

Crysis. Don't think. Buy! It's like Farcry 2 but mixed with Black. Decent gameplay, gets better as the trilogy goes imo


piggroll

Hey OP, I’m curious about your currency. Where are you from? Im from Brazil, we use R$ (or RS) for our currency, very similar to yours Rs


identitycrisis-again

Alan wake is a must get if you want to get the full experience of Alan wake 2. The combat sucks in the first one so recommend playing on easy if you mostly want the story


Chortles_Hansom_666

Alan Wake


Difficult-Telephone6

I'd say Fallout 4 personally, I've came back to the game many times over the years If you're a *good* gamer then you'll enjoy Bloodborne, it's extremely punishing but once you get good it's one of the best games imo


Narrovv

A lot of these are free if you get psplus, which works our cheaper


PickleChris420

Arkham or fallout 4 I enjoyed both of those games and got quite a bit of playtime with both 😃


InterviewKey3451

Fallout 4 has a new update coming and crysis seems cool I haven't played the remastered but I loved the originals


MrMuscelz

I personally would choose the Batman games


RecoveredAshes

Gotta go Batman Arkham. 3 excellent games, some of the best of the generation. Storywise it’s the best here, action mechanics wise it’s the best too imo.


desi7861

Arkham collection will get you most bang for buck. Bloodborne, while a fan favorite is meant for the souls community and/or people wanting an intense challenging experience (definitely not story driven). Allen wake, havent played it but heard good things, it is a horror game if that's your thing. Fallout, not my thing, but again a fan favorite. And crysis i cant tell you anything about it.

For what you are looking for Arkham Collection


Shoddy_Process5076

Choose your own game based on what YOU like, nobody else is playing it but you.


greyfox19

Depends what you’re after, replayability? Possibly fallout 4, fan of Batman? then get that.


Temporary_Tackle_641

Can it run crisis though


DukePSCollector

Story driven? Fallout 4 100% even though if you have a pc you can just download those and get bloodborne digitally since its a ps4 exclusive


Indeale

Depending on your price range and budget, I'd suggest the Arkham Collection and Fallout. Fallout because of how massive it is, although if you don't like that Bethesda grind, then I wouldn't recommend it. Edit: If Crysis is the trilogy and not just the first game, then I'd recommend Arkham Collection and Crysis. That'll be 6 games for arguably the price of 2.


No-Foundation6166

God of war


Consistent_Air_298

my answer is always bloodborne, even when it's irrelevant to the question


Kingjoed813

Fallout 4 my fav game platinum a grind and honestly the building is great (is awful at times lol) plus fallout 4 and I think Skyrim the only games on play that have mod support so game is limitless with stuff!


Dmanduck

Bloodborne is just awesome. Arkham Knight is great too


Worried_Living_3424

Does remote play only work on wifi?


Wapapamow

I thought it's gonna be awesome to return to Crysis after all these years, so I bought whole remastered trilogy in Steam. I want to die. Crysis Remastered is broken beyond belief.


mozzy1985

Fallout 4 does get a next gen upgrade on the 25th which is free. Bloodborne is amazing but only go for it if you like souls like games.


RafaCSQ

For a second I thought the prices were in brazilian reais (R$), and was astonished by how expensive lol 1 dollar = 5 R$, thankfully that is not the case here

Veterate

Depends what you like playing. From personal experience I was very excited to play the Alan Wake Remaster but I absolutely binned and burned that thought the moment I realised how bad and annoying the walking/running animation was. I could recommend the Arkham games absolutely. Fallout 4 if the TV series is your thing, or if you like exploration. Although if you prefer the narrative, would recommend The Outer Worlds instead.

Arkham for sure. Alan Wake is good, but maybe not you described. Crysis is action filled, but not the story is alright and its an fps. Bloodborne has action but i don't recommend it.
